The Vampire Diaries' Klaus has moved on to another city, but does that mean he's forsaken his love for Caroline?

Everyone's favorite hybrid is spinning off to his own drama The Originals on The CW this fall, and he even impregnated a werewolf along the way. But fans of The Vampire Diaries can't deny that Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Caroline (Candice Accola) have a unique chemistry. In fact, some fans refuse to believe in anything but Klaroline.

"They're so exciting together," series boss Julie Plec said at the Comic-Con panel on Saturday. "Some [fans] are rooting against every single woman on this show because of that... and it's not like she doesn't exist [anymore]. In a way, she's the Buffy to his Angel." And while that sounds romantic, Buffy and Angel didn't end up together.

Although Plec has not ruled out Caroline crossing over, Morgan is excited for his character to put Caroline on the back burner for now and explore new love interests because he wants to play that softer, more affection side to Klaus again. "I'm rooting for that element of the character," he said.

Could Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin), his baby mama werewolf, be his next great love? For now, it seems they have more of an agreement to raise this as yet unborn child, but nothing else. "They don't know each other very well," Tonkin said. "I don't think it's going to be romantic."

As for what the child of a hybrid and a werewolf will be, Plec said that remains to be seen. "Everyone will have their own opinions of what this baby is... that's part of the fun of waiting for it to be born."

The Originals premiere, which will retell the story of the backdoor pilot from Elijah's (Daniel Gillies) point of view, airs Tuesday, Oct. 15 at 8/7c on The CW.
